Our Values

We are a psychology-based, person-centred, interdisciplinary, progressive clinic.  They are a lot of words!  What do they mean?

• Psychology-based.  Many people know the importance of mindset for weight management.  But most people don’t invest a lot of time, energy, and resources into training their minds.  At WMP we help you train your most important muscle – your brain!
• Person-centred.  Most weight management programs are weight-centred.  This can result in obsession with food and exercise, psychological health problems, and weight regain.  We help you “zoom out” from the scales and focus on yourself as a whole person!
• Interdisciplinary. While we believe psychology is the missing piece of the puzzle, we know it’s not the only piece.  We support you with a team of like-minded, compassionate, and caring nutrition and movement professionals.
• Progressive.  As seen in the below graph, common diet and exercise plans don’t work so well in the long-term, even when supplemented with traditional psychology.  We like to support you with a combination of traditional psychological approaches and innovative evidence based ones, like as tapping and hypnosis, to help you discover what works for you.
